1893. With forewords by F.J. Furnivall. Capgrave, learned traveler
and friar of Lynn in Norfolk, was an indefatigable student, and
reputed to be the best known man of letters of his time. His
reputation came from the greater part of his works which are
theological: sermons, commentaries and lives of saints. John
Capgrave's life of Saint Katherine of Alexandria belongs to the
most popular genre of medieval narrative: hagiography, or writings
about the saints. It tells the story of Katherine of Alexandria who
portrays a young woman in Egypt in the early fourth century, and
when required to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods, protesting to
the Emperor Maxentius that he cease his idolatry and persecution of
the Christians, and turn instead to the one true God. His version
of Katherine's story is counted among the richest in the genre. See
